Move Beyond the Grief and Pain of Loss to Rediscover Joy Barbara Bartocci has been widowed, divorced, fired from a job, lost both of her parents at a young age, and raised three children with special needs. With each loss--because she had to--she got beyond her grief and went on with living. In this comforting, encouraging, believable book she weaves her own story and those of many others to create a rich and inspiring tapestry of people who have grown through loss and found joy on the other side. The ten chapters gather together stories that describe different kinds of good-byes and how we can find our way through them. Each story is accompanied by "A helping hand, " section that offers practical and proven ways to acknowledge and grow through life's many good-byes.
